Steps to Replacing One Missing Tooth:

1. Beforehand – Dr. Phillips will examine you completely and take X-Rays to make sure you are a viable candidate.

2. Installing the implant – Once the implant is placed, a temporary tooth will be placed on top. This allows you to eat and behave as normal. The implant needs a few months to integrate with the jaw.

3. Fitting the new crown – The final step is placing the permanent ceramic crown. Now the new tooth is installed for life.

4. The beautiful result – The new tooth should fit and function just like a natural tooth. Continue your usual dental hygiene to keep both tooth and gum healthy.
